Mom taught us how ... now we create together
A good “Gluten-Free Graham Cracker Recipe” is a must for your gluten free file. It is one of those foods that can be used in a variety of dishes. And they are really good just to snack on. We needed gluten-free graham crackers to make a graham cracker crust for a pie we were making our gluten-free family member. We did find crumbs and cracker in the supermarket , but found them very expensive. I had made graham crackers before and knew they were not hard to make so off to find a new recipe.
Last December we went to a outdoor holiday market and saw these wonderful outdoor arrangements made from all sorts of greenery. As we continued to walk the market, John said, ” we could make one from all the trees and scrubs we have in our yard and it wouldn’t cost hardly anything.” When we got home we decided what to use and got started.
Many years ago my sister-in-law introduced Iowa Salad to our family and it quickly became a favorite. After I was married and started my own family it got forgotten. (My husband was not a big jello fan). Just a few years ago, maybe five it was rediscovered. 
We love to get together as a family and eat. It is a simple fact. Our family loves food! During the summer we love a good barbecue and Labor Day is kind of a last big hurrah for the summer. We try to make homemade ice cream a couple of times each summer and Labor Day was our last opportunity. No vanilla custard, this time. We made another less used favorite. This Triple Treat Sherbet recipe is one we have had for years but don’t make very often. It’s a little tart, but very fruity.
I love, love, love chocolate. But every once in while I feel like I should try something different. Even thought these “Blonde Brownies” are not completely chocolate free, they are close. It is a great recipe to pull out when you want a change of pace.
